My 3 year old is trying to find the cure for aging.
My little one, Nahvi, turns 4 in 2 weeks. She has really been trying hard to find a way to still have a birthday and not turn 4. She wants the party, the presents, the cake, the whole enchilada but not the part where you turn from 3 to 4.
Last night, she asked me in her serious little voice, “Mom, if you don’t put on the number 4 candle on my cake, will that make it so I stay 3?” and I said “hmmm that might work…. what number do you want on your cake?” “the number 3, so that I don’t turn 4″ I then said ” you are so cute wanting to stay 3, but you have been alive and living with us for 4 years, so not putting on the number 4 candle won’t work you will still keep growing and turn 4, I am sorry…” I just hugged her and smiled, she is such a sweet little kid.
She is really struggling with this, poor thing. I wish I could stop time so I could have my cuteĀ 3 year old forever too!

Update- Today she told me, she thinks she is ready to turn 4.

How cute! Ethan’s all ready planning his 5th birthday, he wants to grow up too fast… which one is better?!?
I wish there was a way to keep them from growing up so fast too. If she figures it out, let me know
Too cute!
what a cutie face! Kiss her from Uma
How fun! I love Nahvi and the things she says. Such a cutie! I can’t beleive that in 5 months Becca will be 2! And these are some of the fastest months of the year I think with all of the holidays. Tell Nahvi that it’s okay to be 4, because she will always be your baby girl no matter how old she gets.
